The top-rated hotels in Cartagena cluster in the old city and Bocagrande. The highest rated, at 9.3, sits in the heart of the walled town, while 5-star beachfront properties in Bocagrande like the Estelar offer ocean views from an infinity pool. For value, look to Getsemani, where a 3-star with a rooftop pool can start around 153,742 COP, or consider a 5-star like Ghl Arsenal Hotel, which offers similar amenities at about 210,218 COP.
Staying in Bocagrande puts you on Cartagena's main beach strip, with a long promenade of hotels, restaurants, and shops. It's a modern contrast to the old city, with most properties here being high-rise 4 and 5-star hotels. Prices range from budget-friendly 3-star towers around 97,265 COP to beachfront 5-stars at about 571,041 COP, and the area's average rating is a solid 8.1.
Prices vary by season and location. You can find a basic 3-star in Bocagrande from about 97,265 COP, a comfortable 4-star in the old town from around 561,628 COP, and for the fanciest 5-star colonial properties, prices can go above 1.8 million COP.
For a first visit, the walled city (Ciudad Amurallada) is the most convenient base. It's where you'll find top-rated hotels like Hotel Casa San Agustin, and it's walkable to the main plazas, cathedrals, and the Getsemani neighborhood.
Cartagena's Rafael Núñez International Airport is about a 15-20 minute drive from the main hotel districts. Taxis and ride-sharing apps are available, and the fare to Bocagrande or the old city is typically a fixed rate.
Yes, the main tourist areas are generally safe at night. The walled city and Bocagrande are well-lit and populated by other visitors, though you should still stick to main streets and stay aware of your surroundings, as you would in any city.
Cartagena's hotel scene is split between three worlds. Inside the walled old city, colonial mansions and converted convents—like the 5-star bastions of luxury along Santo Domingo—offer plunge pools and rooftop bars a few steps from Plaza Bolivar. Across the bridge, Getsemani buzzes with street art and family-run casas where you get a courtyard and a quieter price. Out on the Bocagrande peninsula, glass towers line the beach with infinity pools and casino floors, while a handful of resorts stretch toward Baru island for the full Caribbean escape.
What you pay depends on which of these you want. A night in a solid 3-star in Getsemani can start around 153,742 COP, but the top-tier colonial addresses—like Hotel Casa San Agustin in the old town—push past 1.8 million COP. Between them, 4-star options in Bocagrande hover at about 229,044 COP, and for around 500,000 COP you can land a 5-star with ocean views. Most hotels here carry a rating between 8 and 9, with the best reaching 9.3, so the real choice is less about quality and more about which neighborhood suits your trip.
Hotels in Cartagena offer something for every kind of traveler—the top-rated ones (9.0+) tend to be boutique colonial properties in the old town, perfect for couples and honeymooners wanting luxury and history. For families, resorts like Las Americas Torre Del Mar in Bocagrande have pools, waterslides, and kids' clubs. Budget-minded backpackers will find good value in Getsemani, where a clean 3-star can cost under 200,000 COP.
